September 11, 2009.
On March 19, 2009, pursuant to

(FPA),1 the Commission instituted a
proceeding in Docket No. EL09–40–000.
Southwest Power Pool, Inc., 126 FERC ¶

conclusion of the 180-day period
commencing upon initiation of a
proceeding pursuant to section 206, the
Commission must state why it has failed
to render a final decision. In that event
the Commission must also provide its
best estimate as to when it reasonably
expects to make such a decision.
The Commission will be unable to
render a final decision by the refund
effective date because additional time is
needed to analyze the issues. The
Commission estimates that it will be
able to issue a decision by December 31,
2009. This estimate is influenced by the
complexity of the issues in the
proceeding.
The Secretary of the Commission
issues this notice pursuant to section
375.302(w) of the Commission’s rules,
18 CFR 375.302(w) (2009).

Take notice that on September 22,
2009, the Commission Staff will hold a
public meeting to present research
conducted by the faculty of the
University of Wisconsin-Madison,
sponsored by the Commission, on
Topological and Impedance Element
Ranking (TIER) of the Bulk-Power
System. Commission Staff will convene
this meeting, beginning at 10 a.m. and
ending at 12 noon (EDT), at the offices
of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,

elements of the Bulk-Power System in
the United States. Specifically, OER
staff is seeking: (1) Develop a process to
distinguish those facilities that should
not be considered part of the BulkPower System from those facilities that
should be considered part of the BulkPower System; (2) identify the elements
needed to operate each of the electric
interconnections; and (3) rank the
importance of those elements. This
project may lead to a methodology that
could be utilized in future proceedings
to aid in refining the scope of what
constitutes the Bulk-Power System
subject to section 215 of the Federal
Power Act.
The University of WisconsinMadison, in conjunction with OER staff,
has developed and tested a
mathematically-based model intended
to reflect the physics of the Bulk-Power
System. Dr. B. Lesieutre, Dr. C. DeMarco
and Mr. D. Schwarting, faculty of the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, will
give the presentation.
The TIER report will be made
available on the FERC Web calendar
page for this event and on eLibrary
when it is released. The Commission
will accept comments on this report
within 30 days after it is posted on the
FERC Web site. An agenda and Power
Point presentation will be posted on the
FERC Web calendar page closer to the
time of the presentation.
